NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Detroit and st.
Louis played the last game of the series
for the championship Of the world to-
cey which is to be played in the east. Both

in order to keep up circulation. The
players seemed to be afraid of the ball
and handled it very tenderly. Many
plays were missed which under ordinary
circumstances would have been easily &C.
complished.

BosToN, MASS, Ocs. 22.-The Ameri-
can Shipping and Industrial League
opened its second days session this

was the first speaker. He referred to the
former prosperity Of the American shipping

sistalce, and to the decline when
that assistance was Withdrawn. ITO
day." be said, "Cf our naval se0men 10
per cent. are foreigners, and if WEI
should break out we would have
to buy foreign ships and man
than with foreign men. Protection made
it possible to buildAships in this country,
and the government should make it pos
5i5lc 70 build up the Industry
sgain. With, the material ct hand
there was 10 reason why We
should not command the chief part
Of the carrying trade Of tae world. H.
thought it possible we should have to go
through 8 great thraShing before the
country would awake to the necessity Of
the hour.
w. Fl. Lincoln referred to the former
prosperity Of the New England ship
ping and advocated government aid.
He believed that unless something Vigor-
GUS was done our shipping would be
practically extinct in i've yesrs. There
mas not been ship built in Massachusetts
fer six years.
Various committees were appointed to
attend other shipping conventions IN va
rious parts Of the country, and commit
tee was appointed to visit President
Cleveland and get mis- cooperation in the
movement. After other addresses in the
